What happens when you want to keep up with tradition for your wedding ceremony, but venture out into the great outdoors for your reception? Take it from Sara and Corey who did just that on their wedding day!

Mismatched bridesmaids dresses are one of this year’s top wedding trends, and Sara was right on track! She picked out navy blue for her bridal party, allowing each woman to choose her own style. We love this mismatched look - it makes the wedding photography really pop! Plus, it’s always a bonus when your best gals feel comfortable in what they’re wearing.

The excitement on Corey’s face when he saw his bride-to-be for the first time has us gushing. Their wedding photographer perfectly captured all the love and emotion from both Corey and Sara.

The two said, “I do” at their traditional ceremony held at the San Francisco Theological Seminary. After they exchanged vows, the newlyweds danced the night away at the Elks Lodge, an airy, outdoor reception venue. Elks Lodge looks like a real-life fairytale, with strings of twinkling lights and magic all around!

Sara and Corey got crafty when putting together a unique seating chart for their reception. The couple used logs of wood to display the place cards, enhancing the outdoor feel of their reception! It was practical, but also served as such unique wedding decor!

The pair didn’t hold back when it came to their dessert table - the endless options looked positively scrumptious! And let’s not forget about the traditional treat: the wedding cake! They kept the details fairly simple and topped it off with fresh white roses - one of our favorite wedding cake accessories.
